Iran Warns US Attack on Power System Could Plunge Region into Darkness
Senior Iranian politician Ali Larijani warned that any US attack on Iran's electricity infrastructure could trigger wider regional consequences, including plunging neighboring countries into darkness within 30 minutes. Responding to former US President Donald Trump's statement that the US has the capability to destroy Iran's electric capacity within one hour but has not done so, Larijani suggested such an attack would not only affect Iran but also create dangerous conditions for US forces stationed in the region. He stated, 'Darkness provides ample opportunity to hunt down US servicemen running for safety.' The warning comes amid escalating tensions between Iran and the US, with Larijani's comments appearing on X (formerly Twitter). This development could impact regional stability and military operations in the Middle East.
